Cinematic Story

Here is an example of a short cine-story screenplay

The best-suited genres for cine-stories are thrillers, horror, romance, and mystery which are focused on the young adult (YA) audience. Your story must be unpredictable and out of the ordinary. The size of the story is unlimited (will be published as a web series and split into episodes). For newbie screenwriters, a short story has more chances of being visualized.
